Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hustad, Katherine C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2007
Purpose: This study examined the independent and combined effects of two sources of linguistic knowledge (alphabet cues and semantic predictability) on the intelligibility of speakers with dysarthria. The study also examined the extent to which each source of knowledge accounted for variability in intelligibility gains. Method: Eight speakers with…

Listener Comprehension of Severely Dysarthric Speech: Effects of Linguistic Cues and Stimulus Cohesion.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hustad, Katherine C.; Beukelman, David R. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2002
The second article in a two-part series (Hustad and Beukelman, 2001) reports on a study that examined effects of experimentally imposed topic cues, alphabet cues, and combined cues on listener comprehension of severely dysarthritic speech. Consistent with earlier intelligibility results, combined cues resulted in higher comprehension. Findings…

Implementing Speech Supplementation Strategies: Effects on Intelligibility and Speech Rate of Individuals with Chronic Severe Dysarthria.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hustad, Katherine C.; Jones, Tabitha; Dailey, Suzanne – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2003
A study compared intelligibility and speech rate differences following speaker implementation of 3 strategies (topic, alphabet, and combined topic and alphabet supplementation) and a habitual speech control condition for 5 speakers with severe dysarthria. Combined cues and alphabet cues yielded significantly higher intelligibility scores and…

Aided and Unaided Speech Supplementation Strategies: Effect of Alphabet Cues and Iconic Hand Gestures on Dysarthric Speech
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hustad, Katherine C.; Garcia, Jane Mertz – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
Purpose: This study compared the influence of speaker-implemented iconic hand gestures and alphabet cues on speech intelligibility scores and strategy helpfulness ratings for 3 adults with cerebral palsy and dysarthria who differed from one another in their overall motor abilities. Method: A total of 144 listeners (48 per speaker) orthographically…
